{"id":1483,"name":"Michael Seese","url":"http:\/\/MichaelSeese.com","description":"<a href=\"http:\/\/michaelseese.com\">Michael Seese<\/a>, CISSP, CIPP, is an information security, privacy, and business contingency professional in beautiful Chagrin Falls, Ohio. He holds a Master of Science in information security, which was earned completely online via a very cool synchronous and interactive curriculum, and a Master of Arts in psychology, which tends to scare people.  He began his career as a journalist, and then moved into technical writing, which piqued an interest in programming, which after all is nothing more than another form of writing, using a more limited and concise language.  Then one day, standing in a local bookstore and surrounded on three sides by programming books, covering C++ and C-sharp and .NET and ASP, he had an epiphany: programming languages come and go.  Guess wrong\u2014that is, specialize in the flavor-of-the-last-month\u2014and some college fresh-out will take your job, and probably do it better.  But the need to store data and protect data will remain and, in fact, grow.  That realization led to his current career track.\r\n\r\nMichael regularly speaks at conferences, has had numerous articles published in professional journals, and contributed two chapters to the 2008 PSI Handbook Of Business Security.  He is the co-author of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Haunting-Valley\/dp\/B001OOMO8C\/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1230762607&amp;sr=8-2\"><i>Haunting Valley<\/i><\/a>, a compilation of ghost stories from the Chagrin Valley.  Michael also penned (or, better said, e-penned) the twin books <a href=\"http:\/\/happyabout.info\/scrappy-infosec.php\"><i>Scrappy Information Security<\/i><\/a> and <i>Scrappy Business Contingency Planning<\/i>.  He currently spends his limited spare time rasslin' with three young'uns, and can be reached between matches at <a href=\"mailto:scrappy@michaelseese.com\">scrappy@michaelseese.com<\/a>.","link":"https:\/\/svapm.org\/?author=1483","slug":"michaelseese","avatar_urls":{"24":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/1bad0a08a2db900de83ee2bc3f238f00525b227f90d908af6275dbca22d8e1c5?s=24&d=mm&r=g","48":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/1bad0a08a2db900de83ee2bc3f238f00525b227f90d908af6275dbca22d8e1c5?s=48&d=mm&r=g","96":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/1bad0a08a2db900de83ee2bc3f238f00525b227f90d908af6275dbca22d8e1c5?s=96&d=mm&r=g"},"meta":{"marketing_optin":"","givewp_campaign_interaction_notice":false,"givewp_campaign_existing_user_intro_notice":false,"givewp_campaign_form_goal_notice":false},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/svapm.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1483","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/svapm.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users"}]}}
